For me, the main point is that you are actually strengthen Maple/
Mathematica/Matlab/..., if you write extensions for them. They pay you
nothing but every freely available script is a reason more to stick to
them. Quite similar to .doc/.xls files in the Office world.
A field where this works "better" is statistics with R, because many
methods get implemented using R and papers describe their methods in R
scripts - and R methods reference papers. This is from my point of
view a much better situation than in maths - and still a long way to
go for sage AND the community of mathematicans.
